Photosynthesis 1950–75: Changing Concepts and Perspectives

  • Chapter
Photosynthesis I

Part of the book series: Encyclopedia of Plant Physiology ((PLANT,volume 5))

Abstract

In the two centuries that have elapsed since the discovery of photosynthesis, no period has surpassed the last 25 years in richness of discovery and conceptual advances. It so happens that the progress made in the last quarter of a century can be assessed with considerable accuracy, for at midcentury, in July 1950, the Society for Experimental Biology held a Symposium on Carbon Dioxide Fixation and Photosynthesis at Sheffield, England, and the Proceedings of that Symposium (published in 1951) provide a reliable record of some of the main experimental and conceptual realities that characterized photosynthesis research up to the mid-twentieth century. This article will use the Sheffield Symposium as a point of departure for tracing progress in the next quarter of a century and will give special emphasis to the experimental and conceptual advances in the areas of photosynthetic electron transport and photophosphorylation in chloroplasts. No attempt will be made to cover all of the vast literature that has accumulated in these areas in the last 25 years. Such an attempt would be neither practical nor desirable; individual topics are covered in separate chapters of this volume. The emphasis here will be on developments that led to changes in concepts and perspectives.
